Richmond, Va., Dec. 39.—A Roanoke special to the Dispatch says: Tho Commercial National bank of this city closed Its doors this morning because of a run on that Institution yesterday. This run, It Is bell.ved, was caused by the resignation of Cashier Davenport and bis departure for West Virginia on Sunday.' The resignation wo* tendered on tho 13th, but did not go Into effect until the 20th, jind for some lesson tho matter was kept from the general publlo for a week or more. Mr. Davenport baa lx-en In tho employ of tho bank for several years, and his books on set tlement were correct In evmr particu lar. When H was known that he had resigned the people became uneasy and :)ie run followed. The total nubilities of tlm bank amount to about 380,000 and tho esti mated assets exceed this by about 390,000. Tho amount due depositors, 1 according to tho statement of tho bank’s condition published Inst Hun- day, wna 361.037, but It Is believe! at least 312,000 of this sum was with drawn In the run of yesterday. The capital stock of the bank Is 3100,000, nnd at lenst 75 per cent, of tho stock la held by men of large means, they ore believed to be able to moot all lia bilities and pay depositors In full.

Tbo Re noway Conpln In Hungary, Where Their Liaison Is Attracting Mach At tention, ns Wall aa Condemnation From tho Better People. Budapest, Dec. 29.—Janos Rigo, the Hungarian Gypsy musician, and the Princess de Caraman-Chlmay, former ly Miss Clara Ward, of Detroit, Mich., who recently eloped from Paris, have arrived here from Btuhlwelssenbcrg. where they had been visiting Rlgoa parents. Their presence In the city, where the story of the elopement has filled much space In tho newspapers, has awakened the llvllest curiosity and people of all classes make all sorts of efforts to see the couple. When it became noised about that Rigo and his American mistress were stopping at a hotel here )Hundreds of persons went to the hotel and stood outside for hours in the hope of seeing the pair. So large did the crowd be come that the traffic on the streets in tho vicinity of the hotel was blocked and It became necessary to detail spe cial police to handle the people. The princess and her paramour have visited the theaters since their ar rival. Whenever they have appeared at places of amusement the princess has been blazing In diamonds, and as She Is a remarkably beautiful wo man, has excited much attention. The audiences on discovering who the cou ple are, neglect the mge and devote all their time to watching Rigo and the princess, who evidently delight In the oensatlon they are creating. The contrast between tho two Is great. Riffo, who Is about 35 years of ago, looks like the ordinary gypsy he Is. HI* complexion le swarthy and his common imcestry Is plainly attested tn his face. The respectable people of tho city arc thoroughly disgusted with the manner In which the couple are acting and say that ordinary deoency should Impel them to keep themselves os much ns possible from the public gaze, but this vkw of tho matter does not seem to meet with the approval of tho par ties moot Interested. Many men of tho world scoff at tho Idea of Rigo di vorcing his wife and marrying tho princess. They say that after ho gets as much money as possible from her ho will abandon her and return to bis wife. As Known tn Laundry Circles, From the Now York Sun. “Sinoo I came to Now York twelve years ago,” Said ons.man In the group, “I havo been known In the laundry world a, ‘R. 9.’ I don’t suppose I could got rid of that mark whatever I should do. It Identifies me ns persistently as a band with one finger gone. “It came about In the most accidental way. I sent my clothes to a certain laun dry late In 1883, when I moved first to New York. They came baek marked •R. 9.’ Every nncecsslro laundry has put that mark baek on than* unfit I an now bo firmly fixed ns ‘R. 9’ that I never ex pect to bo designated' under any other doTlee.” •'I’mi ’W.

My collars are 14V, and there’s nothing nlHiut my clothes to- lend anybody to think I ought to be branded with any such Impossible combination of conso nant* o* ’W. Z.’ There are undoubtedly men that ’W. Z.’ might suit, hut I’m not ono of them. The difficulty of the matter Is that there laundresses may 'bo pictur esque enough In tho first Instance, al though when one makes a mistake of judgment rile rest follow like sheep. Any woman who keeps on marking a 14-oo’.lnr *W.

Nine years ogo I moved to New York, and came here after haring traveled for several weeks. I put all my wash Into iny trunk, nnd when.. I reached New York there was quite an accumulation.

They were only keeping it quiet In order that a friend of their might se cure the boarding house without en countering too much opposition. Mum ly had to eat a great deal of humble pic, but he eventually realized his matrimonial dream. HI. 3 oul* nospttnlity. From tho Chicago Times-Herald. XJaat year a Chicago girl visiting friends in St Louis attended a recep tion in that city. There was a big crush of St. Lonls social lights, and when tho fair Chicagoan prepared to depart she was unable to find her valuable seal skin saoquo anywhere. In Its place was on old sealskin worn nnd dilapidated. The hostens regretted the mistake ex ceedingly. It seemed certain that some thoughtless guest had worn away the missing garment by mistake. Sho felt sure that the saoque would bo returned next day with an apology. In the mean time she suggested thatjho Chicago girl wear the old garment that had been left In Its piece, and this was done. Bat the sealskin was not forthcoming the next day or the next week. The hos tess was annoyed almost to dibo verge of distraction, and offered to pay for the missing Barque, but of course this prop osition was declined. At length tho Chicagoan’s visit was terminated, and she returned home. Ono day she stepped Into a big store on State street where rile had purchased the lost sealskin to lnquit-e if the firm could sug gest any way by which to identify the garment positively If her St. Louis friends should chance to see It again. "It would bo pretty difficult to identi fy It by a casual inspection,” said the furrier, “hut every garment which we make Is marked on-the Inside of .the skin with our firm name, the namo of the purchaser ami tho date. By removing the lining this can be seen.” "Do all furriers mark their garments In that way7” asked tho caller. “I don’t know, X presume they do,” wns the reply. “Then I wish you would examine this saeqne,” «he said, removing the old one ithat hnd been left upon her hands, "and see if you can find out who made it.” It was the work of a minute to rip a seam in the lining. Upon the back of one of the skins was the name of a St. Louts furrier and the name of the pur chaser of the garment—it was that of .the host—- ••’ofSOlf. The Chicago girl made another flying visit to St. Lands. When she returned she ordered n new sealskin from the State street firm and paid for It with a St. Lonls cheek. Tho Original Sam Weller, From the Toronto Week. The great ecarolty of too early num bers of "Pickwick’s Papers" Is not dif ficult to ’understand wtoen it is .borne tn mind that only 400 copies were printed o!f the first part, which was pulbfMhed on Maroh 31,- 1S36. Before the appearance of Hhe fourth number there was eome Idea of stopping the Isbuo, as the expenses wore found to he in ex cess of title receipts. But In the fifth mimjtor Sam Weller was Introduced, and the ivoik at once sprang into un bounded popularity. While notnlng ipostUvo has ever been established on too point* It la held by eome writers that 'the original Sam Weller was a Qlr. Samuel Vale, who acted the part of Simon SnatUrdash in a farce csJ’ed “The Boarding House,” and made this character a great popular favorite. The odd vfhlmslcatlty of Vale’s novel aim- parlsons Is best understood on refer ence to ihe pant sot down to Spattcr- daslh In the farce. Among bis queer comparisons are: “ 'I know the world.’ os the monkey «a!d when he ou t off his tail. I am down upon you,' as the extinguisher said to tho rushlight." “ 'Como on.’ ns the man eald to toe 'tight <boot. I am all over perspira tion." as the mutton chop oaJd to the gridiron." " ‘Why, here we are all mus tered.’ as the roast ibeef said to the Welsh ralbblt.” Vale introduced th'se popular comparisons In Ms (private life as welt os upon the stage, and from 1820 to 1830 ’this rtyle of expression be- c:une widely popular. It Is not unrea- oonalhha to suppose that Dickons be came. Un a sense, the abstract mirror of his time, tn catching the popular fun and embalming It with his choice phraseology. Of oourse, tt would be the holsht of absurdity to charge Dick ons with being a mere copyist, ec for one moment to think Sam Weller os any other than an original character. Dickens may have borrowed an idea, but he certainly made no slavish use of It, for tho prevailing Sam Valerlsm and “the monkey that knew 'the world” wan tn no way on a par with the Sam Weller ooroptrtaon: for example, in de scribing the elder Mr. Weller and the router aa "waUdng after him like a tame monkey after a horgln.” One Way to Get's Crowd. There must have been a surprisingly largo number of deadheads In the Grand opera house in AtlRnta the other night to hear Mr. Bryan lecture. The audience, it Is stated, numbered 4,700, the price of admission was fifty cents, and fifty cents extra was charged for reserved sat*. Yet a special tele gram from Atlanta to the Philadelphia .Record saya the receipts of the evening were only 31,534, which would seem to Indicate that about half of the audience went In "on paper." Mr. Bryan re ceived 31,000 for the lecture leaving 3534 to the management, out of which to pay for the rent of the theater, the advertising, lights and Incidentals, which probably came very near to eat ing It all up. Might Have Been Worse. From Tit-Bit*. A reporter. In describing the murder of a man named Jorkln, eald: "The murderer w-ua evidently In quest of money, hut. luckily, Mr. Jorkln had deposited alt'Ilia funds in the bank lxtore, so that he lost nothing but his life.” OABTOHIA.

McPherson yesterday morning preached on "Jlell” in the Sec ond Iffoahyterlan church. His sermon made a deep lnipre.--io:i on the congre gation. At the conclusion of the dis course the pastor usually announces the hymn to be sung as a response. Tho or ganist had not knbwn the subject of .the sermon when he selected the re sponse and thought no more about -It after ho had complied his list of hymns. Tho pastor fumbled with this list, coughed and looked n trifle embarrassed. The organist began to play too air pian issimo and a broad grin spread over every face. Dr. McPherson looked ap pealingly upward to the organist and then turned over tho leaves of the hymn book with desperate eagerness. Mr. lie- Carrcil left his pipes and hurried down to the pastor. "We must change that response,” whis pered the pastor. “Why 7" asked the organist, innocent ly. "I havo been preaching on ’Hell,’” said Dr. McPherson, "and the response you have chosen is, ‘What Must Xt Be to Bo There?' We cannot have that.” Even tbo solemn organist grinned at he climbed toe organ and started uj "Art Thou Weary?” “MOTHERS’ FRIEND” FOB RtSSKB BREAST Makes GliiHirfli Easy.
